Abstract:
In the evaluation of shoulder instability, recognition of relevant pathology on imaging is critical to planning a surgical treatment that minimizes the risk for recurrent instability. The purpose of this review is to (1) discuss the use of radiography, computed tomography, and MRI in evaluating shoulder instability and (2) demonstrate how various imaging modalities are useful in identifying critical pathologies in the shoulder that are relevant for treatment.
